Having a bad experience with warranty claiming issue. Anyone else experiencing this? As the RMA form states to send to an address in paya lebar but the email states to send it to their office. When i did mail it and after asking if they have received my cable no one replies. Even after bumping with another email no one replies. My cable is out for 2 weeks with no news. So im stuck with an iem i cant use with no one on effect audio side giving any form of response.

@Paul Zhang, a question about the aesthetics of Code 51. Given the different materials that are used in the conductors (i.e., palladium, gold, silver) do the wires have the look of the Cleo, Leo, or Horus, or some kind of combination.

It's hard to tell from pictures given the difference in lighting and photo processing.

Why not drop by their office since you are in SGP?

Because mailing is more convenient and i have things to do? Anyways my previous repair with my old cable had no issues unlike now.

Thanks Paul, got there in the end: thankfully!

Left side went in well - albeit with a fair amount of effort, but the right-hand side had me worried. I know EE IEMs have very tight sockets - which is fine, but I kept having nightmare scenarios where I pushed too hard and damaged the cable.

Anyway, all good now thanks. Been burning the Thor II 8 wire in since y'day - so looking forward to some serious listening over the weekend now!

The Code 51 looks silver-ish, with a trace of gold in it if you look at it closely, I would say it looks like a combination of Cleo and Horus aesthetically.

Arthur and his Excalibur...

It was a month ago I tried these...
What I want to Highlight is the cable, Excalibur...
For me these cable had a mature sounding... It could fill in my cup of tea with my pairing...
I thought it was like HORUS, but it wasn't...

Are you planning to sell separately from Arthur?
or should I asked Lady of the water one... Grin

Bad news! I purchased an Effect Audio Thor II Silver 8 wire last week. Had given it 50 or so hours burn in, and had been really enjoying it over the weekend. Plugged my Legend Xs today and no audio in left channel?! I've tried the IEMs and Thor II combo in another DAP - but the problem persists. I'm really surprised about this; as I've had an Effect Audio Lionheart for a year or two, and never had a single issue with it.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Or is there any more troubleshooting anyone can recommend before considering this a faulty item from Effect Audio?

Thanks,

Dan

do you have another cable you can test to confirm it’s the thor that’s faulty and not the legend x?

Good point! Yes, actually I still have my Lionheart here. I'll give that a whirl first.

Thanks,

Dan

Thanks for the suggestion Evo, I've absolutely nailed it down now.

I reconnected my Lionheart to my Legend X, and I was instantly back in glorious stereo. So went back to the Thor II, and the left channel disappeared AGAIN - so definitely the Thor II that has the fault. I then proceeded to check all the connection points along the cable, and found it almost immediately. There's a poorly soldered connection between the cable and the 2.5mm plug. I unscrewed the external barrel - which makes up the plug housing, then gently moved it side-to-side by the tiniest amount, the left channel comes in and out again.

I must say this is extremely disappointing though! This feels like substandard workmanship on the part of Effect Audio - remember this is an $850 IEM cable?! I am genuinely shocked, because my Lionheart has been flawless from day one and is of the high standard I expect from a company like Effect Audio. I have many cables, and interconnects for my main Hi-Fi at home and have never had a cable of any description fail on something this fundamental.

Thanks again for your assistance in establishing what the issue was.
